@cengior This is the way. They see the signs. If they do not orient toward the west, expanding their lines of business, they will just be reduced to beggars with camels again once oil is a thing of the past.

Much better to build the relationship with the west, use the high oil prices to earn money, and re-invest that money into other businesses.

@judgedread @VikingWays This is the conventional, exoteric understanding of church. It has very little to do with "religion" and a direct and deep relationship with god.

It simply is a control structure on which to build fairly internally stable societies, and a way for beta-males to secure leadership positions by exploiting the gullibility of the masses.

Real religion is for ever deeply presonal, subjective, and impossible to directly communicate to others.

@elston_ Note that 1/100 (or so) human being do not feel any emotional trauma when it comes to killing other humans.

These humans are highly sought after as agents of the government, as members of special military operation groups etc.

It is interesting to ponder, that in nature, it is rare for animals of the same race to kill each other. It happens, but it is rare.

Therefore, it is somewhat biologically hard coded into us no to kill other human beings.

@gestalterhuette Das ist ein riesen Schlange!

@Zeb @TenaciousWolf This is the way! Only those who pay in, get a say. The ones who don't must remain silent. That would, for a start, improve our current political decisions enormously.

@TenaciousWolf Yes, democracy, like most, if not all, other forms of government, ultimately rests on violence.

That is why it is not possible for libertarians to vote. It goes against the non-aggression principle. Christians too, should, if they are not hyppocrites, not vote.

@ThatCrazyDude Amen!

@Dan_Ramos Ahhh... our dear global IT corporations, the ones that we so dearly love and trust! 😎

I always tell my students, loyalty is for nerds. A corporation won't even think twice about throwing you out after 20 years of service.

@Incal It is very beautiful!

@Incal Ouch... I wonder if there's some kind of kickstarter campaign to support the Sackler family?

@ThatCrazyDude Please do not forget that Trump will most likely receive a lucrative royalty for this. 😎

@Sideshow_Jane This is the truth!
